Blurb:  

Meet Hailey – possessed by an otherworldly being who was trapped in her Kindle.

Hailey Parrish was quick-witted, irreverent, and hadn’t had a date in three years. She only wanted an eBook reader because her collection of paperbacks threatened to take over her small living space. Little did she know that the “special offers” that prompted the purchase included much more than a reduced price in exchange for a few ads. The device came pre-loaded with the essence of Sebastian Kess, an erudite womanizer with magical abilities from a parallel dimension. When she inadvertently releases him and he inhabits her body, she finally has a man inside her, just not in the way she imagined. And soon her predicament introduces her to yet another supernatural, the handsome could-be-the-man-of-her-dreams Alex Sunderland. Can Alex and Hailey find a way to return Sebastian to his own body, stay one step ahead of the criminals who want to keep him where he is, and not lose their sense of humor?

Special Offers, the first book of the Coursodon Dimension Series, combines paranormal romance, urban fantasy, a bit of science fiction and a healthy dose of quirky humor.

Excerpt:  

I was just about to add a peevish, “I knew this wouldn’t work,” when I glanced past Alex at the short wall that surrounded the patio.  The three Gila monsters sat calmly on the top of the stucco partition.  Well, I assumed it was the same three, but frankly, they all look alike to me so it could have been another trio.  Slowly, I stood up, and beyond the wall, there was an assortment of animals: jackrabbits, ground squirrels, tarantulas, two coyotes, a mule deer and even a momma bobcat with two kittens.  They all just sat there, but I could swear they were staring directly at me.  Although I admit that even with eight eyes apiece, it was difficult to gauge exactly at what, if anything, the big, hairy spiders were looking. Since I met Alex, I’d witnessed some bizarre stuff.  This assemblage of creatures that normally fear and sometimes eat one another just sittin’ around chillin’ together was truly amazing. And sort of creepy.

All I could say was, “Whoa.”

Alex turned and followed my wide-eyed gape beyond the wall.

“Fascinating,” he whispered. “Unbelievably fascinating.”

Neither of us dared move; we both just stared, awestruck, at the odd congregation before us.  I noticed a Harris’s hawk perched on a high branch in a mesquite tree, and wondered if it was the one from the night before.  Soon, another hawk flew in and landed on another part of the same tree.

It was like a scene from a low-budget horror movie.  Animals, pissed about some ecological faux pas perpetrated by humans, mustered around an isolated cabin rented for the weekend by a group of scantily clad, slightly inebriated sorority girls and their horny, completely wasted jock boyfriends.  One stupid loser, deciding to take a leak outside rather than use the perfectly good bathroom facilities provided in the cabin by the evil real estate company whose actions inspired the animal’s grudge, is eaten alive by the angry hoard.  In the morning, his friends find only his skeletal remains, still being nibbled upon by a few indolent chipmunks.
